Msg# 3294

Part of the web site is temporarily down Posted by Ainaechoiriel January 05, 2005 - 11:08:50 Topic ID# 3294
The part that contains the winning banners. Because I ran out of space with
earthlink, I put them on my own server. Well, because of my caution, they
are unreachable at the moment.

Why? Ice storm. And kittens. You see, the server is on a switch box. To
keep the kittens from doing anything to it by stepping on the keyboard, I
switched the switchbox to the ohter non-existent computer. That was fine,
until my electricity apparently flashed. I connect to my home computers
remotely while I am at work. The other two booted again and I am able to
connect to them. The server, however, probably popped up a no keyboard
error which halted the boot process. So there's nothing I can do about it
until I get home and switch that switchbox back to the server and reboot it.
So, not only is there no web site (from my server), I can't read some of my
e-mail addresses (that reside on the server) and I can't convert those .avi
files to .mpgs like I've been doing because they live on the server. I can't
update the web pages to say they're down, because they live on the
server....

Aren't computers fun?

The server is online again so the web site is available.
